SOLIDWORKS DESKTOP
Electrical Professional
Embedded electrical systems planning requires a unified electrical toolset that provides single- and multi-line schematic tools. Embedded system design also requires all work in 2D and 3D to be synchronized for both mechanical and electrical parts.
SOLIDWORKS® Electrical Professional combines the electrical schematic design capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Professional with the 3D capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D in one package.
Embedded electrical systems planning requires a unified electrical toolset that provides single- and multi-line schematic tools. Embedded system design also requires all work in 2D and 3D to be synchronized for both mechanical and electrical parts. SOLIDWORKS® Electrical Professional delivers this and more.
